I want to make a pitch to others getting ready for their first flight to get transition training, and a pitch for getting it from Alex De Dominicis in particular.
I just made my first flight after 9+ years of building and an even longer time of not flying, and the transition training I got from Alex was absolutely invaluable. I'd been taking dual in a Cherokee to get current, but the RV handling is different enough that without the dual with Alex I would not have been safe taking my -7 up for the first time. As it was, there were no surprises.
Alex is a great instructor and showed great patience with my initial over controlling and other bad habits. In a relatively few hours of dual, he had me comfortable landing the RV to a degree I could never have achieved without his help.
Alex is great and if you can get on his schedule I highly recommend it. If you can't, find someone else. It is a relatively minor cost in time and money when compared to everything else you've spend getting to where you are and false economy to not avail yourself of the opportunity. In my view, unless you are current in an RV, you aren't current.
Thanks, Alex!
